Annie Leslie (born Annie Louise Brown; December 11, 1870 – October 7, 1948) was an American newspaper columnist. She was among the first American advice columnists, writing the column "Experience" for The Detroit News under the pen name Nancy Brown from 1917 to 1942. Her column was very successful and led to the crowdfunding of a series of community projects, including the reforesting of 560 acres (230 ha) of clearcut forest in Northern Michigan during the Great Depression. Beginning in 1934, she hosted an annual sunrise religious gathering at Belle Isle that was called Sunday Service. The gatherings led to a fundraising campaign that resulted in the building of the Nancy Brown Peace Carillon. Brown graduated from Mount Holyoke College, worked for around 10 years as a schoolteacher, and was briefly the Pittsburgh Dispatch's drama editor.
